Chương 67: Royal Thanks
(Jason's POV)
"Jason!!" I heard Lucy call out
I sat up from my bed in the palace infirmary. I watched as Lucy ran up to me with a worried look.
"Are you okay?" She asked
I nodded, "Yea."
It was the following day after the attack. Minerva had managed to defeat her father and Jiemma was captured. According to the reports, the army of monsters that were led by Suzaku was obliterated. The bastard didn't involve himself for some reason.
He had left immediately after Natsu, Sting, and Rogue reached him.
Something was definitely odd about that.
I was recovering from my wounds, I didn't want to use Life Return this time because for some reason, I felt like I could actually rest.
Lucy gave me a smile, "I'm glad." She said, "You did it, though. You defeated Mard Geer."
I nodded, "I did." I said as I looked at my bandaged-up arms, "It was a tough battle but I managed to do it."
She grabbed my hand, "You can rest now." She said smiling, "Something tells me we don't have to worry about Tartaros now..."
I shook my head, "I doubt that." I said, "The Conversion is still ongoing. There's no way of telling that the Nine Demon Gates will return to their original states."
Lucy chuckled, "Lets look at the positive things, Jason." She said, "We can rest for now."
I looked at her, she was giving me a warm smile. Her eyes glistened, I didn't know what it was about that but it made me blush a bit.
"I..." I said, "I guess..."
I then watched as Arcadios walked up behind Lucy.
"Excuse me." He said
Lucy stepped aside, "Oh. Sir Arcadios!"
Arcadios looked at me and bowed slightly, "Sir Jason." He said, "On behalf of His Majesty and The Princess, I would like to thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You. If it weren't for you, Fiore would've lost their King and Princess...."
I nodded, "No problem." I said, "I'm glad they're okay."
He then looked at me, "As an order of The King, I ask you to follow me." He said
"Why?" I asked
"Please." He said, "You'll know when you get there."
I nodded, "I guess."
****************************
As Lucy and I walked behind Arcadios, I couldn't help but get a strange feeling. Like something wasn't right.
We reached two massive doors and Arcadios pushed them open.
As soon as he did, I got hit with a strong smell of meat.
"Whoa." I said
I then walked through the doors and saw a massive table filled to the brim with food. There was meat, chicken, pork, and many more meats I could think of. I also saw pizza, spaghetti, and other italian delicacies I couldn't name.
"What's this?" I asked
Arcadios smiled, "Our way of thanking you." He said, "You and the allied mages must be hungry after that battle. Especially you."
I saw as Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Wendy were already at the table eating. They were busy speaking amongst themselves. I looked to the far right and saw Sabertooth eating as well; Sting and Rogue were gorging down on some chicken while Minerva slowly ate some steak.
Lucy laughed, "This is nice!" She said, "Come on!"
She grabbed my hand and pulled me to where Natsu and the others sat.
"Oh, Jason!!!' Natsu said with a smirk, "After you recover, Fight me!"
"Let the man eat, Natsu." Gray said annoyed
I sat down and began eating some pizza I just picked up. I didn't realize how hungry I was.
Erza gave me a smile, "You defeated the leader of Tartaros, Jason." She said, "You have my utmost respect."
I took a sip from a glass of water, "Thanks." I smiled, "Maybe you and I can have a duel someday. And we can do something else after."
She chuckled, "You're quite the flirt." She said, "But I rather you focus your romance toward Kagura."
I looked around, "Where is she, anyways?"
"I think she had to do something." Lucy said
I nodded, "Okay then..."
After minutes of eating the food and avoiding stuff Natsu threw at me, I felt a presence approach me from behind.
I looked behind and saw Cosmos, one of the Garou Knights, lean into my ear.
"When you are finished, the princess wishes to speak to you." She whispered, "Privately."
I raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Without saying a word, she just walked away.
"Man, I wish Happy was here." Natsu said, "I hope he's okay."
"We should go see them after this, Natsu-san." Wendy said, "Carla went to check on the village."
I continued eating without saying a word.
****************
After enjoying the feast the King organized for us, I followed Cosmos to the Princess's private quarters.
I didn't think it would come to this. If I was right, then it would definitely surprise that Hisui was this way.
I looked as Cosmos walked, her nice and fat ass bouncing up and down. Now, this one wouldn't surprise me if she was like that. I would not mind tapping that. Her and the other one.
As we reached a door, Cosmos turned around and crossed her arms.
"I'll stand guard." She said, "Enjoy."
I raised an eyebrow, "Is it really like that?" I asked
She shrugged, "You saved our lives." She said, "She wants to thank you."
"I wouldn't mind you thanking me." I gave her a smirk
She scoffed, "Please." She said, "She chose you so forget it."
I nodded and opened the door, walking inside the door.
I then heard Cosmos close the door behind me.
Inside the room, I saw Hisui sitting on a large bed. She wore her usual white strap-less dress. Her hair was let completely down and she wasn't wearing her usual jewelry.
She blushed slightly as she had her hands on her lap.
I bowed slightly, "Princess."
"Please." She said, "You have no need to do that."
I looked at her, "Why am I here?"
She looked at me, "I think you have an idea."
"Yea." I said, "But why?"
"You saved my life." She said, "It is appropriate that I show you my thanks."
I shrugged, "Well, some land or ancient relic is thanks royalty sometimes give to their saviors." She said, "But this?"
She looked away, "Do you not want this?"
I shook my head, "I didn't say that." I said, "If this is what you want..."
"Then I don't mind."
